Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0752349A2] The seal of the gas container is opened by means of electrical and/or magnetic energy or through a conversion of electrical and/or magnetic energy into kinetic energy and/or into thermal energy, all of which produce heating up of the gases. The energy is produced by a high voltage generator, a pulse generator or a plasma generator, or may be obtained from a condenser, coil, accumulator or battery. The heating up of the gases is achieved by a chemical reaction where the reacting gases with metal parts, combustible gases or fluids set in motion an oxidation process through heat generation.
